According to police, the suspect was pulled over on New Michigan Road in Canandaigua for not wearing a seat belt. The suspect initially lied about his identity, police alleged. When the true identity was discovered, deputies realized the suspect had a suspended driver's license and an active bench warrant for his arrest out of Monroe County for seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was out of jail on bail, police added.

The suspect also was found to be in possession of a controlled substance at the time of the arrest, police said.

Pierce was sent to the Ontario County Jail on $2,500 cash bail or $5,000 bail bond.
